bilt yacht in the Dardenelles was due to the
fact that the yachtsBen persisted in flying
the colors of their club instead of the flag
used by the merchant service in passing the
straits.
English Politics.
The Liberal Unionist demonstra-
tion shows rapidly growing estrangement
between Hartington's party and the Glad
stonians. Lord Harrington, having for
time kept strict control over himself in crit
icizing his old chief, no longer maintains
much reserve. 1t is clear that his friendship
has been too severely tried. To use a vul-
garism, 'it is all up between the chiefs Of
the two factions. Reading between the
lines of Hartington's addresses it seems that
he does not expect ever again to be in close
political association with Gladstone. At
Rawtenstall he thought that Liberal reunion
could, not happen this side Of general cleo
ton Saturday he declared that the Union
lists would all fight for seats at the election,
and if left without parliamentary repre-
sentation as the result, they would still have
to be reckoned with. 1t ought therefore to
be sufficiently clear to the Gladstonians that
they have nothing to hope for from Harting-
ton. Short Of the absolute surrender Of
their great principle of Dublin Parliament,
Liberal reunion is impossible. Such is the
challenge which must be accepted, and moth
ing now remains but in Chamberlain's
words ito fight it out to the bitter end"
melancholy prospect truly, inevitable
though it be.
To Conservatives, Of course, the outlook
is pleasant enough. They calculate on
long lease Of office and power. Some Of
them, however, will have to drop certain
cherished illusions. Fair traders, for in
stance, can as yet hardly appreciate what is
10 store for them. Lord Hartington's Ian
| The Birmingham Post, the particular organ
| of Mr.. Chamberlain, declares it quite un-
satisfactory. 1t holds up its hands In horror
at the suggestion that the maintenance of
the union is OF greater importance than the
maintenance of free trade, and says that a
tax upon bread would be worse calamity
than the recOnquest of ireland, the most
serious that can issue from home rule.
Finally, it adds that no Liberal can main-
tain an alliance with Tories, If 1t compels
him to turn, falter, or grow cold in his al
legiance to free trade. In considering the
significance of this warning it must be re-
membered that the Birmingham Post repre-
sents Mr.. Bright as well as Mr.. Chamber
lain, and to Mr.. Bright the fair trade move
ment is utterly abhorrent.
But Lord Harrington was not vague. He
took occasion to declare that a retrograde
policy on commercial matters would endan-
ger the strength of the Unionist phalanx
and put the whole responsibility upon the
Tory leaders, who would venture to give
fair trade countenance or support. 1t is diff
fcult to see how with his views he could
have done more. 1t is clear that he has no
apprensions.
Mr.. Goschen has no secrets frcm the Mar
quis, and speaking few hours later for the
government, he stated emphatically that
there was no principle, executive, admins
trative OF fiscal, that would cause differ
ence in the UniOnist party.
The Birmingham Post, possibly, has been
scared by the report that Lord Northbrook,
member Of the second Gladstone admins
tration and Hartington's friend, had sent a
letter If sympathy to the fair traders. The
latter might be formidable, IL they could
agree, but they remain at skies and sevens
as to their aims.
